Good luck with the piano lessons. With DD12 having a piano made it more real for her. I think the teacher can really make a difference too. My little one also says things that are not really true. I do not think it is the same as lying. I think more of it as learning to manipulate language. I recently found an early K program for four year olds that uses the reggio method. I've googled it but anyone know or have experience with this method? Unsolicited the woman said that they have had children stay for the year and leave reading at a third grade level...I thought that sounded hopeful.
